Subject: [HIST-NAT-HIST] Botanist F. I. X. Rugel at Florida Keys
I have been unsuccessful in finding anything on F. I. X. Rugel, who
apparently botanized at Key West, Florida in May, 1846. There is a
specimen plant from Key West in the New York Botanical Garden with
information crediting him as a collector.
Any help at all will be appreciated.
